Parents, carers and families are by far the most important influences in a child’s life. Their support can play a vital role at all stages of education.

We are delighted with the fantastic turnout to our parent contact event this evening . A huge thank you to the parent council and a very well done to our P7 tour guides.

We are very excited about the results of the button vote this evening:

*93% of our parents feel they would like us to trial some personalised online homework tasks next term!

*100% of the teaching staff said yes!

*Tomorrow we will announce what the most important voters think…our kids!

We are SO proud of our Cross Country Team who competed at the RPSSA Primary School Championships on Friday 6th March.

Owen, Kaleb,Travis, Jamie, Riley and Rheannan will hopefully run again for Team Milton next year! Sadly as Charlotte and Tallulah are P7 that was their last Ross-Shire Primary race😢.

Well done to all of the runners and a BIG thank you to friends and family who managed to make it along to cheer the children on. We are very proud of you all 👍. (special mention to Riley who finished 19th 🎉👌)

We love books at Milton Primary!

Watch a wonderful range of famous authors and stars reading children’s books and short stories for kids of all ages. Storytime Online makes storytelling possible at any time of the day—a brilliant way to keep children entertained and a fun way to help develop their language skills.

On Wednesday 4th March Team Milton worked their socks off at the Rotary Quiz, the children were faced with some very tricky questions but remained focussed throughout! Well done everyone, we are very proud of you all.

Our stories were super today, Miss Spicer was most impressed. Have a look at some of our work…

“We think we did well and feel proud to have competed at the rotary quiz and earned our certificates!”

Luke “The Highland Oak” Stoltman popped into Milton Primary this afternoon. The children heard all about his journey to becoming Scotland’s strongest man in 2013 and 2014. Luke came 3rd in UK’s Strongman in 2014 and hopes that one day soon he will become the World’s strongest man. He will be competing for the 2015 Scotland strongman trophy again and Milton Primary are very confident he will bring the title back to the Highlands again. The children prepared some excellent “higher order” questions for Luke. He talked to them about his achievements, his lifestyle and even shared a few stories about his own school days. Luke said one of the most important lessons he had in primary was all about how vital it is to listen. “Listening and learning is so important in Primary School, especially learning in literacy, numeracy and maths”. Luke talked about his determination, motivation and commitment to his sport. He said that it is important for children to follow their dreams and believe in themselves.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Luke for visiting our school today. We all really enjoyed your talk and are looking forward to writing about your visit. Luke has promised to come and run a few laps of the field with us next Friday in a bid to help us on our way to Poland!

The North Star came along and snapped up a few pics this afternoon so keep your eye on the papers over the next couple of weeks!

Team Milton did us proud today. Declan, Kaleb, Travis, Kinga and Rheannon all showed excellent sportsmanship during this tough competition.

The new school tracksuits had their very first outing today. Don’t they just look so smart!!! We are looking forward to thanking our sponsors at assembly on Monday.

Well done to all of the competitors who played their socks off and to the parents who came along to offer lots of moral support and encouragement. Excellent morning in Alness!

This afternoon Primary 5/6/7 organised and hosted a Daffodil tea in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. The children were delighted with the support shown by parents and friends of Milton. In total a staggering £250.24 was raised within the space of an hour. A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support this superb charity. The former school cook Mrs Drever made a return this week to help the children bake some delicious cakes, pancakes and scones. Well done P5/6/7 and a huge thank you to Mrs Martin for encouraging the children to make a difference to others.

The lyrics to one of our favourite Fischy songs says it all…

“I can make a difference, you can make a difference, we can make a difference to this world of ours”
